There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
I purchased this camera, two batteries and the SanDisk Ultra 32G card. The camera arrived a day early and the other two on time. Since I could do nothing until the card arrived I charged the battery and read the manual. The next day I inserted the card and synched the remote. I also downloaded the latest software update from the Go-Pro site and following their instructions to the letter I put the card back in, turned on the camera and waited for the update.
Two hours later I was still waiting. Lights were flashing, the indicator said updating was in progreess, etc. But something was wrong so I called Go-Pro and talked to a tech. He confirmed it should have taken a minute or two...tops. So I pulled out the battery, pressed the On button and "select" button simultaneously and held them for 4 seconds. Downloaded the update again except this time I manually created an UPDATE folder and after unzipping the downloaded file, put the 4 files in the folder. Then I took the card out of the camera, re-formatted it and put the UPDATE folder on it.
Back into the camera with battery and card, pressed the ON switch and ....nothing. Literally. This time no lights or anything.
The tech recommended trying another microSD card but the only one I remembered having was an older version that, whereas would not have worked on the camera for filming, etc. since it was not fast or big enough, worked OK to upload the files. Back into the camera, switched t on and BINGO! It worked.
Put the Sandisk card back in there and got an error message. Turns out the Sandisk card was bad...for this camera. The tech mentioned they've been having lots of problems with those cards and recommended a different brand (can't remember now.) The reason I don't is because I forgot I had another SanDisk 32G card in my tablet. Out of curiosity I installed it and it worked!
Here's the weird thing: the card that did not work in the camera? Works perfectly fine in my tablet now. Go figure!!
So was it the camera that's too finicky? Can't seem to be the card as it works in other equipment.
I haven't played much with the camera (it's raining cats and dogs) but the Android app works great. Beats that tiny camera screen. All the other features seem to work OK too for the little I tried it indoors. Family's coming for Easter so I will be taking it kayaking and hope to grab underwater shots of manatees. Will also play with the panorama-on-a-kitchen-timer trick.
UPDATE:
As promised here's the update. I've upgraded to 5 stars as the SD card thing is more of a fluke than anything else.
I'm very impressed by this camera. Took it swimming (buy a cheap monopod at Wal-Mart, hook it up, tie a string to the monopod and fling it in the water. It floats lens down for unassisted filming.) Did timer shots, regular snapshots, everything works as advertised.
Buy a couple of spare batteries and you're good to go for hours.
The Go_pro ap works really well on my tablet, too.

良い品質の製品。非常に速い船積み
Alas all have been either very disappointing, have difficult or limited mounting options or simply broken - so wasting over £200...
If I'd just bought a GoPro in the first place I'd have actually saved money... And now the top model is less than £270 I took the plunge and bought one, and a storage case, and tripod, and suction mount etc etc
Now I've got one I can see what all the fuss is about. What a top quality piece of kit, evolved over many years and obviously heeded feedback to make it what it is today - a little jewel.
So after using it for a week or so here's my thoughts:
Pros:
- super quality throughout
- now great value at £270
- excellent GoPro app that's a must, to view what the camera see's, quickly change all the settings, review photos and videos
- secure mounting system and an endless array of mounting possibilities
- large range of video and photo size and quality options
- make videos, high quality photos, burst photos (up to 30pics in a sec), time lapse (from 1 to 30 sec increments)
- excellent wifi remote that shows the same data on the screen as the camera and allows you to stop start and change all the settings - I've mainly used it for taking photos whilst driving... Very easy to simply press the remote button
- impressive battery life when you consider how small the battery is
- good sound quality - most other cameras I've tried are poor or simply rubbish
- huge amount of ideas and tips on the internet
Cons:
- camera screen and menu system is navigated with just 2 buttons and can take a little getting used to
- no built in screen so need to use the GoPro App on an ipad or iPhone for setting up
- app video and photo quality is quite poor due to wifi transmission speed limits and the large data size and doesn't show previews of some of the higher quality formats
- small removable cover that hides the charging sockets etc is diddly and easy to lose - to be honest I think it's best to leave it off and save it somewhere safe
- the best GoPro mounts seem expensive but beware the very cheap ones... Use Amazon or forums and stick to middle priced ones with good feedback
Most of us don't have extreme or exciting lives to constantly video but don't be put off, there's so many other things and interesting shots you can take on country walks, with your pets, driving or cycling etc. the high speed and time lapse modes are especially interesting. Practice with unusual angles and positions and you get a new twist on everyday events.
Go ahead and play!
